While our backgrounds and experiences are diverse, we share a deep commitment to Jesus Christ, to each other, and our neighbors. Watch these stories of faith in the everyday lives of Mormons. You can also meet Mormons here.

Our faith influences nearly every aspect of our lives. Beyond simply believing in Jesus Christ, we try to bring His teachings to life at home, at work and in our communities. Here are a few of the cultural priorities embraced by members of the Church around the world.

We are all spiritual children of a loving
Heavenly Father who sent us to this earth to learn and grow in a mortal state. As Mormons,
we are followers of Jesus Christ. We live our lives
to serve Him and teach of His eternal plan for each of us.

I live in Canada. I Love playing Rugby! I played Prop in rugby, and I also played Football. I was on the D-Line and played Tackle.

Why I am a Mormon

My mom's parents love talking about religion and stuff like that. One day her dad was asked if the missionaries could come over and talk to him and his family. He aggreed to that and they came over. My grandma was the first to join and then her husband and kids my mom, and her brother. And my mom married a member of the church and that's why I'm a Mormon.

Why do Mormons go on missions?

Because it is what the Lord wants. Matthew 28:19-20: 19 ¶ Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.

Being able to serve a mission for Him. And being able to receive forgiveness for my sins

Why do some call Mormonism a cult?

I suppose that new and different things have always been a challenge for some. It seems possible that the New Testament Christians might also have been called a cult: they were few in number, taught new, or at least different, doctrines and were lead by strong, charismatic leaders (a study of the early apostles like Peter or Paul bears this out).
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (often called the Mormon church) follows the teachings of Jesus Christ as contained in the Bible and the Book of Mormon. We do not worship our founding prophet (Joseph Smith) or our current prophet (Thomas S. Monson). We teach that men are saved by the grace of Jesus Christ and his atoning sacrice on the cross and that as we strive to follow Him and keep His commandments, that redemption becomes personal.
If others persist in defining the Church as a cult, in spite of our rather obvious Christian beliefs and doctrines, then we will simply have to agree to disagree.

Are Mormons Christians?

Gordon B. Hinckley, prior President of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints said, "We are Christians in a very real sense..." The belief in Jesus Christ is a dominant, if not the most dominant, principle in the Latter-day Saint belief. We believe that our Heavenly Father sent His Only Begotten Son, Jesus Christ, to this earth to atone for our sins. We believe that Jesus Christ came to this earth, was crucified, and took upon Himself the sins of the world. In doing so, He granted us the ability and privilege of repentance, or being forgiven of our sins. He also rose from the dead three days after His death, a process we call resurrection. Through Jesus Christ, we now have the ability to be forgiven of our sins so that we can return back to Heaven to live with our Heavenly Father once again.
